and travellers who go far of the beaten track in the interior, and depend upon sacters and the poorer peasant huts for accommodations, sometimes get nothing else for weeks. This poor mans food begins with pint of the thic1est cream, which is boiled in tin set in boiling water. A little salt is added and wheat four is stirred in and made perfectly smooth. As it slowly boils clear butter rises in drops, and that is carefully skinned off into cup as long as globule of it can be found. More flour is stirred in, and when the porridge is at it's thickest hot boiled milk is used to thin it. When thoroughly cooked this porridge is eaten with the butter that is skinned from the boiling cream. It is very rich dish and little of it is satisfying. Travellers who have had any long experience with fodgrod make faces at the mention of it's name, although they were delighted with their first feasts that consisted of one dish.
 The national bread of Norway is the fla bro or fiat bread, that is hardly thicker than piece of paper, and is baked in large sheets about once a year and stored away in the stabburs adjacent to every farm house.

Finding that they did not appear to compre- bend her motive or object she said to them: Girls, what do you suppose is my reason for trying to teach you" Without mo- ment's hesitation one of them replied: ''To of lady?" asked the teacher.

AN INTERPRETING CONTESc-


 There is no contest in this State over the United States senatorship, but our neighbors the people of Massachusetts are somewhat ex- cited by the effort made by the friends of Congressman Long to put him in Senator Dawes place. This effort has the hearty support of the Boston Advertiser An att tempt was made to have a caucus called, but such strong protest ensued that the scheme was given up and the voting will begin in the legislature to-day without any caucus sing.
 The supporters of Long have been active and vociferous. They have asserted that Senator 1awes is old, has lost much of his usefulness, and that his place should be given to younger man and 8 man like Mir. Long, who has shown great ability and tact in the service of the public. It has even been announced that the young men of the Republican party are crying for the election of Long and that if he is not chosen they will leave the party. Senator Dawes has been in the Senate no less than thirty years, but it is evident that he has no notion of retiring yet. He has more supporters among the Republi- can newspapers than Mir. Long, and strong force of friends outside the newspaper offices. It is claimed for him that in sagacity, knowl- edge, experience and familiarity with the public business he is without arrival. To the objections that he is too old and that he is not so great political leader as senator ought to be, or as Mir. Long would be, the Worcester Spy rather effectively replies: It is true that MT. Dawes is old enough, and has been long enough in congress to have acquir- ed an invaluable store of knowledge and ex- perience, but he is not old enough to be less fit for the public service by the loss of either physical or mental vigor. He disposed of the objection that he is not political leader by his speech at the Massachusetts club some weeks ago. It happened that Mir. Long also made speech at the same hour, under the same roof and on the same subject. MT. Dawes in that speech marked out line of policy which the Republicans in congress, MT. Long among them, have since adopted and which is likely to be the Republican pol icy in the next congress Mr. Long also in his speech outlined policy for the Republi- cans, but nobody paid any attention to it and he abandoned it himself as soon as he re- turned to Washington. The less said about the comparative qualifications of the two men for leadership the better for Mr. Long's friends
 Senator Dawes friends are very confident, and they have certainly got the better of the Long supporters in the preliminary discus sion. How they will come out in the voting will soon appear.

bury him where none may learn of his rest of hanging is just right except for the pub licity now allowed" Lawyer w. H. Russell
 wants condemned criminals turned over to a committee of medical experts. Their lives would then be taken in such way as to pro- mote scientific knowledge. ''Vivisection of human subjects-that is, cutting them up alive-would no doubt have deterring in- fuence on those who contemplated commit ting crimes for which vivisection, followed by death, was the lawful penalty''
 It seems that the Czar of Russia has been induced to pay some attention to the condi- tion of Siberia by Count Ignatieff and Baron Korff, the governors general respectively of eastern Siberia and the Amour. They repre- sent that it is only the incessant flooding of that country with exiled criminals that keeps Siberia in the state of 8 wilderness. The native population is corrupted and in many ways injured by this influx, and the numer- ous outbreaks and attempts to escape made by the exiles keep the country in 8 constant ferment. Protests against this penal colo nization have hitherto been unavailing, and year by year the number of convicts sent thither has increased. In the century pre- ceding 1864 about one million persons were exiled to Siberia. From 1864 to the present time fully seven hundred thousand more have been sent, and the rate at present is about fifty thousand year. The hope that these exiles would in time become settled colonists has not been realized. Ninety-nine per cent. of them seem to have but one desire, to es- cape from Siberia; and fully one-fourth of the entire number are always in flight. This enormous number of roaming fugitiyes, most of them, of course, utterly 1awless, keeps the country in a state of terror and confusion that paralyzes all social and industrial prog ress. It is high time that the Czar paid some attention to Siberia.

 lating the liability of railroad corporations in case of the death of passenger or employe through negligence. Not only is $5, 900 the limit of this liability, but where money has already been paid for injuries, and these in- juries result afterward in death, nothing more can be obtained. A bill introduced in the legislature increases the limit of liability in case of death to SIG, ,000, and provides that where compensation has been made for in- juries that fact may be pleaded in mitigation of damages, but cannot he pleaded as a bar to further claim in case of death
 Henry George does not use mild words in his fight with the Catholic church. Here is specimen: It may be news to the general public, but it is, nevertheless, fact, that Archbishop Corrigan, in the last election, not only wanted to defeat certain candi- date, but also wanted to defeat the call fer constitutional convention; the letters from him were sent to priests telling them to work against the convention, and that at a gather ing where one of these priests endeavored to carry out this instruction proposition was made to get hold of the bags containing the ballots in favor of the constitutional conven- tion, and by making away with them to les sen the vote in it's favor.
 Some of the people of New York who are | taking part in the discussion of the question, How shall the death penalty be infiicteda cannot be accused of sentimentalism. L. s.

1t is said that in Chicago the
moment a new baby appears in the

sent out announcing the important
arrival. In order that there may be
no delay in this announcement, two
sets of cards are prepared, one bear
ing feminine name, the other mas
culine.
A yellow wedding is one of the
latest freaks. The bridesmaids are
in yellow, the decorations yellow, the
laces yellow, the flowers yellow
everything, in short, but the bride,
who is of course, all white, wears
that iaundiced hue. The effect is
irving and more suggestive of rous
ing bilious attack than the gentle,
amorous scene fashionable marriage
ceremony seeks to be. However
anything for change.
1t would be interesting to know
how many thousands of workmen
make habit of coming to this coun'
try in the spring and returning to
their homes in the fall The cheap
rates of passage from Great Britain,
as well as from South European ports
are stimulating travel at this time
The fact that there is no work here fol
from four to five months each veal
makes it cheaper FOR thousands to pay
out $40 or $50 for to aud fro passage
money rather than live here at
monthly cost of from $50 10 $50 a'
least
